Whether you are a property developer, building contractor or commercial property owner, you are likely to get involved in construction and refurbishment work at some stage. This could be a new-build development or an extensive renovation, either way, it is very likely to involve a number of heavy-duty industrial processes such as demolition, brickwork, steelwork, joinery and plastering. And while builders and construction companies have to leave a property clean, empty and ‘ready for use’, this does not extend to the clinical level of cleanliness most subsequent occupants would expect. This is where you need builders cleaning services.
As a natural by-product of construction and renovation processes, dust, debris and dirt will be produced and will accumulate. This is produced when removing old sections of the fabric of the building and when constructing the new elements of the building. These particles will be projected all over the property and given that different types of work are ongoing at different stages – plumbing, plastering, electrical installations, joinery, kitchen and bathroom fitting, tiling, painting, floor-laying – it is impossible to avoid new fittings and essential elements of the new construction being subjected to dust, debris and dirt. And even if the building contractors are obliged to leave a property ‘ready for use’, there are different definitions of this, and it is not expected that a family or a commercial business can move straight in. This means that the levels of hygiene and cleanliness you expect will need to be achieved through building cleaning services.
Our builders cleaning services
Even if a construction or refurbishment is completed to an acceptable standard, there is still considerable cleaning to be done in readiness for occupants to use the property. This therefore can include:
- Vacuuming carpets to remove ingrained dust
- Mopping floors
- Wiping down woodwork to remove dust and plaster
- Wiping down wall tiles
- Wiping down units
- Cleaning internal and external sides of windows and ledges
- Removing stickers from newly installed sanitaryware
- Removing protective film from units and fittings
- Dust all doors, frames and skirting boards
- Polish all metalwork and glass surfaces
- Dust all light fittings, switches and electrical sockets
Only when a property has received this level of deep clean can it be considered properly ‘ready for use’.
